AHK Script: Remapping Insert Key

Purpose

This script globally disables the default behavior of the Insert key, as I never use it as intended. Instead, it remaps both the standard Insert key and the Numpad Insert key to function as Shift + Insert. This is useful when I mean to press Shift + Insert but mistakenly press only the Insert key.

Behavior

• Numpad Insert: Remapped to act as Shift + Insert. Holding the Shift key allows multiple presses of the Insert key without releasing Shift.
• Standard Insert: Also remapped to Shift + Insert for consistency.
